Innovative ink enables outstanding and eyecatching packaging
I recently travelled to the southern Germany to visit a couple of clients for Inprint 2014 and to attend the LopeC Organic and Printed Electronics event in Munich. I was particularly inspired by a couple of very interesting Industrial Ink initiatives which 'caught my eye' and I wanted to share them with you.
New business models and ways to work challenge the traditions of printing industry tradeshows
Worldwide there are a lot of trade shows to discover and attend. In addition the four „must" ones plus one: drupa, Print, Ipex, Igas and China Print. Is this set-up still reflecting the industry or just a reminder of the glorious past? Sabine A Slaughter investigates this issue in light of Agfa, HP and Kolbus pulling out of IPEX.
At drupa, CTC Japan is returning for the second time as exhibitor. The Japanese company that has had up to now only monochrome inkjet printers came to the show with its newest invention: the "BookBee 500" for production of textbooks and educational materials.
Screen recently announced a series of products to be showcased at the upcoming drupa exhibition. At the same time, Screen's Singapore office welcomed a new vice-president and director posted from Tokyo headquarters. Christel Lee from PrintPackPublish Asia reports.
